The pyramid is in front of the museum&#8217;s entrance, so it&#8217;s among the first sights you&#8217;ll notice upon entering the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure was created by architect Ieoh Ming Pei (who also made famous structures such as The Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame and Museum). The pyramid was made accessible to the general public in March 1989 in a massive reconstruction plan for the Museum. The proportions of the pyramid are similar to The Great Pyramid at Giza. It is one of the most impressive structures in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principales caract\u00e9ristiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"mtr-table mtr-thead-th\"><thead><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Aspect\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Aspect<\/div><\/th><th data-mtr-content=\"Details\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">D\u00e9tails<\/div><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Aspect\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Emplacement<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Details\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Cour Napol\u00e9on, Louvre Palace, Paris, France<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Aspect\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Architect<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Details\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">I.
